Game Thread: Illinois vs Charlotte

[AT6]

And I thought we may actually get 6 wins after the Nebraska game. Proves how little I know.

slant after slant after slant......wtf ?

 

[DeonThomas]

I guess I'm glad I missed the first half....

It was sad. We can definitely run against them, as evidenced by time-of-possession. Our passing game, however, is just way too much of a struggle.

Their 5'9 QB has (perhaps) just 1 incompletion so far. And their coach looks like Ferris Bueller hyped up on caffeine.

Game is finally on Direct TV Alt channel 610-1 for me

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Our run D is so much better than passing D.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Huge stand there. Joseph with a clean timely hit.

 

[LFOD]

That was defense

 

[Keisersose]

Peters is awful. I don’t know who this guy is thats caling the game for BTN but he’s really pointed out the mistakes made by peters and was even critical on the TD pass.

 

[LFOD]

Definitely seeing a bit more passion this half

 

[pruman91]

Joseph with a blast.........that's the way to make the receivers start looking around for him

 

[ILL_INI]

I wonder why they don't just pass every down.

 

[LFOD]

Joseph with a blast.........that's the way to make the receivers start looking around for him

Exactly. Need to instill some fear.

He was correct and I was glad he pointed that out.

 

[LFOD]

Nice runs

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Williams was open...

 

[Keisersose]

He was correct and I was glad he pointed that out.

Agree. He actually said “better to be lucky than good”.

 

[LFOD]

Pass way too short

 

[LFOD]

Should have been TD

 

[skyIdub]

Chase Brown is going to carry both teams apparently.....

 

[LFOD]

Brown tired of hearing about McCray yards after contact

 

[DeonThomas]

Almost ashamed to admit it, but I'm a PJ Fleck fan. And the CLT coach reminds me of PJ. I love the charisma and enthusiasm. Seems that guys like this can relate well with recruits.

I call it "youthful exuberance."

If the announcer was the head coach, and I was the offensive coach, Sitkowski would have already had a look this game. Oh well, let's let the highest paid state employee continue to make questionable choices.

 

[skyIdub]

Ok, I will continue to watch Illinois football because Chase Brown.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

This is looking like a real football drive.

 

[skyIdub]

So Chase Brown is going to Bugs Bunny them.

Put him in at LB or FS.
